EDITORIAL

NEWPORT, RHODE ISLAND, USA - THE EDITORIAL STAFF

This issue completes Volume One of IQLR, and we look forward to our second year of
publication. You, our subscribers and readers have made IQLR a voice in the International
QL Community, for this, we owe you our thanks.

This past year has established or reestablished lines of communications. No longer are
NORTH AMERICANS isolated from their counterparts in EUROPE and around the world.
We are talking and sharing our experiences, problems, and successes with each other.
Within our own countries QL'ers who felt that they were alone, are stepping forward and
contributing to the QL community. But most of all, we are using our computers, and
rediscovering just how much we really have.

Major developments and improvements in software and hardware, are in the works for this
next year. As these items solidify and take shape we will pass along that information.

Work continues on the "INTERNATIONAL COMPUTER GLOSSARY (ICG)"; the word
list has been expanded, the format for presentation resolved, and the first six of 42 sections
completed. We have received translations for German, Italian, Spanish, English, and Dutch
and anticipate at least three more languages. If you are proficient in these or any other
language, and would like to help, please don't hesitate to do so. While we are still waiting
for several of the lists to be returned, enthusiasm for this project is growing. As you know
the,purpose for the ICG is to translate computer terms so that they can be used to help in
the translation and conversion of the wealth of public domain software written in various
languages, (in most cases and especially with utility programs, only the on-screen prompts
need to be translated).

The QL SURVIVOR'S SOURCE BOOK 2nd Edition is now in worldwide distribution.
Copies of the QLSSB are available from IQLR; the standard version is $7.95 plus $3.00
shipping, the deluxe version (laminated covers) is $12.95 plus $3.00 shipping. See IQLR
issue 5, page 7 for a detailed description.

A major upgrade of the C-68 compiler has been announced. Release 2 has been reorganized
and the package now consists of nine disks. We will inform you when we have them
available.

In addition to the nine disks of release 2, at least three additional disks are expected. The
first, will be a library for interfacing C-68 with Tony Tebby's Pointer Environment. The
second, will be a port to QDOS of the RCS Source Control System. The third, will be a
port of the ELVIS editor (a clone of the UNIX VI editor). We hope to have these available
soon.

Last but not least; we are still waiting for a response from T.F. Services concerning a
discount for a group buy of Minerva ROMs.

INTERNATIONAL QL MEETING
OCKENFELS, GERMANY - FRANZ HERRMANN

On Saturday the 21st of March 1992, the Sinclair QL User Club of Germany will be
hosting the "INTERNATIONAL QL MEETING" in the city of Munster-Roxel in
northwestern Germany, at the Tilbecker Strasse 24, from 8 am until 10 pm.

This meeting is dedicated entirely to a discussion of current QL/QDOS developments.In
addition, there will be private and commercial exhibits, problem solving, tests, and
opportunity to meet QL'ers from around the world.

In addition to the major European and UK dealers that will exhibit, several private projects
will be on display

A partial list of the many workshops, demonstrations, and discussions includes:

SMS2 - the new QDOS compatible operating system, parts of which are already
running on QDOS machines, such as the drivers on the ST/QL and the DEV device on
Gold Cards.

MausTausch - live log-on to the MausNet mailbox with the QL. Communications
software and system configuration (off-line reading and answering of messages), to
minimize telephone charges will be demonstrated.

QDOS future - review and discussion of current projects and future developments.

A New application to create animations - this application exploits the Pointer
Environment to the fullest and is an excellent example of advanced SuperBasic
programming.

QL Network Experiment - as many QLs as possible will be networked to give users
an opportunity to test its qualities and see how a large network behaves.

PD C68 Compilation System - a brief explanation of the package and system
requirements, the latest ports of programs with C68 will be reported and shown, and there
will be discussions on the future direction of C programming under QDOS.

Fleet Tactical Command - during the meeting, two groups of players will be trying
to defeat each other in a giant naval battle with the most difficult and complex game
available for the QL.

As you can see, we have something for everyone. Why not make plans to join us. We can
offer assistance to anyone wishing to book a room in any of the numerous hotels in the
area. Please contact:

BUS EXPANSION AND THE QL

NEWPORT, RHODE ISLAND, USA - BOB DYL

Almost from the beginning, QL'ers realized the need for bus expansion. A company by the
name of QUEST was the first to advertise a bus expansion system that included additional
memory, disk drives and an OS-9 type operating environment. I've never seen one in
person, but have been told only a small number were sold and the OS-9 operating system
was never realized.

The second attempt was by CST (of THOR infamy) and called the "CST Q PLUS 4". This
was a well made unit. It had a sloped surface where you placed the QL, and a buffer card
was inserted into the QL's expansion slot. The cable attached to the buffer card, then
disappeared into the base of the unit. In the back were four separate expansion slots, in
which you could mount say, a disk drive interface, a memory expansion card, and maybe
even an EPPROM programmer all at the same time. The Q PLUS 4 required a second QL
power supply in addition to the normal one for the QL

I had one of these units and it was great, as a matter of fact, Doug Dewey of Carrboro,
North Carolina still uses it. So, what was the problem? Cost to manufacture and selling
price (300 pounds sterling at the time). In todays dollars that price would be about $540.00
US. Delays in shipping also contributed to it's demise.

Later on Sandy PCP of the UK (I had one of these also) and SPEM of Italy both came out
with box kits for the QL that contained a bakers rack type of expander that directed the
expansion boards back over the QL motherboard. Unfortunately the bus expander could
only be used in their boxed set-ups. In their time, these were also quite expensive. SPEM
of Italy still offers their kit and I believe the current price is much more reasonable. This kit
is not for the NOVICE.

Still later, SCHOEN of the UK, better known for their PS2 type keyboards and interfaces
for the QL, marketed a kit that used a flexible ribbon cable for the bus expansion, however
this was not buffered and many people experienced problems.

Recently, many QL'ers have started putting their computers into PC type boxes, and a
number of dealers including ADMAN SERVICES (Dennis Briggs), began to offer small
bus expanders that routed the expansion cards back over the QL motherboard, without
unduly extending the address lines. These bus expanders are fairly small, with connectors
for one or two expansion cards. None of these are buffered or driven and some people
have been successful in using them while others have not.

Jurgen Falkenberg of Germany has just come out with a Bus Expander that is driven and
contains five expansion sockets. Unfortunately it can not be used if the Gold or Trump
Cards are installed in the expansion slot.

One of the few criticisms of Miracle Systems is that their Trump Cards and Gold Cards

take up all the usable ROM that could be used for such things as buffering or driving bus
expanders. As a matter of fact they use up all the ROM except that reserved for the ROM

IQLR6-3

slot. This is where Miracle connects their Hard Disk, others use it for Toolkit II,
Speedscreen, etc.

Maybe this problem can be worked out in the near future, then we'll finally have a bus
expander properly buffered/driven that will work on all QL's.

CONTINUING RUMORS

From the Italian QL Show held in January, comes information on the Miracle Graphics
Card. It will have two NEW modes. The first, will be an enhanced mode 4 with as many as
256 colors and will be usable with standard QL monitors. The second will be a High
Resolution mode of 1024 pixels x 768 pixels in four colors. A VGA monitor would be
required to take advantage of this new mode.

When asked about a possible release date, Miracle's standard reply is SOON.

Another little bit of information that came to us from the UK by way of Germany is that a
QL'er in the UK developed his own 4 Meg expansion board using the 68020 processor. It
was seen up and running by many including someone from Miracle Systems. We've been
told that only one was produced and that commercialization is not planned.

We'll follow this story; a lot of people here in North America would love to talk with the
developer.

OOPS !!!

FLP/RAM LEVEL 2 REPLACEMENT EPROM
NEWPORT, RHODE ISLAND, USA - IQLR EDITORIAL STAFF

Once in a great while, a product comes along that is a MUST, the FLP/RAM Level 2
EPROM Replacement Chip from Jochen Merz of Germany is just such a product.

Designed to replace the EPROM on the Trump Card or the EPROM on the Sandy
SuperQboards (versions 1.17 onwards) the Level 2 replacement considerably speeds up
disk operations, numerous new commands are added, and real sub-directories. A new
manual is provided which gives the details needed to use the new commands and options.
If you are using a Trump Card in a backup system to your Gold Card, the sub-directory
capability alone is worth the purchase price.

IQLR6-4

Those of you without Gold Cards, will be able to achieve some of the speed up in disk
operations that Gold Card users enjoy, as well as real sub-directories, and additional
commands not now available for the Trump Card or Sandy SuperQboards. When ordering
your Level 2 Replacement Chip be sure to specify either the Trump Card version, or the
Sandy SuperQboard version.

The price for the Level 2 Replacement EPROM including postage to North America is
approximately $30.00 US. Order from:

NEWS RELEASE - QL HDD-CARD
ERSINGEN, GERMANY - JURGEN FALKENBERG

The first reasonably priced HARD DRIVE SYSTEM for the Sinclair QL, the new QL
HDD-CARD offers a Hard drive at low cost.

The QL HDD-CARD is an interface board for the QL's expansion port that allows you to
connect a standard PC-hard drive controller of either the MFM (controller type OMTI 5520
or WD 1002A-WX1), or RLL hard drive (controller type OMTI 5527, WD 1602-27X or
1002A-27X) to the Sinclair QL. The driver for the new device WIN1_ is included in the
onboard EPROM and is completely independent of the hard drive being used. Any hard
drive, even one in excess of 100 MB of storage is supported.

The QL HDD-CARD is supplied alone (219 DM + 30 DM shipping), or can be supplied
with a controller, or as a complete system including the interface, controller, hard drive,
and power supply. Please call or write for current pricing on all configurations.

By its modular character, the JFC hard drive system is optimized for all QL'ers having
assembled their QL system in a larger case. For compatibility with all QL systems, the QL
HDD-CARD may be adjusted by switches to any possible ROM address in the QL's
memory. The addressing is fully described in the supplied manual and may be done by any
QL user without an in-depth knowledge of QDOS.

Like all other JFC peripherals, the QL HDD-CARD does not support the suspicious,
electrically and mechanically critical through-porting of the expansion port. If more than
one peripheral without through-port should be used simultaneously, a bus expander or
better our new QL BUS DRIVER with 5 card sockets is required.

IQLR6-5

For most systems, you should note that the QL HDD-CARD has a width of 125 mm and
does not fit directly in the expansion slot of a QL installed in its original case. There is no
problem in plugging the HDD-CARD at the through-port of a RAM expansion board or in
one of the JFC QL BUS DRIVER sockets.

A special adapter for connecting the HDD-CARD to the ROM-Port for Gold Card users
will be available soon.

DUST COVERS

NEWPORT, RHODE ISLAND, USA - BOB DYL

Awhile back, IQLR subscriber Kenton Garrett of Lansing, Kansas, USA raved about a
company he'd found in Florida that manufactured dust covers for computers and their
peripherals. Kenton had them make a few special covers for him, and to his surprise, the
prices were quite reasonable. To quote him, "custom covers at standard item pricing".

To make a long story short, Dick Taylor and I decided to give them a try. I purchased a
dust cover for my Chicony 5191 keyboard (a stock item) and one for my Panasonic KX-P
1123 printer (not a stock item at the time), Dick purchased their Panasonic KX-P 1124
cover (a stock item). We ordered their top of the line covers, and lo and behold, the price
for my custom cover was the same as Dick's stock cover. The quality is super as is their
customer service.

I intend to have a couple of custom covers made in addition to the ones I already have.
Those of you with expanded memory and disk interfaces, or Trump Cards extending the
length of your QL's, now can get a custom made dust cover just for your system (be ready
with the measurements you require when calling), and at a reasonable price.

Our European readers can order their custom or stock dust covers, from their plant in
Germany. For more information contact:

peters the printer cover $18.95 US. Our thanks to Kenton Garrett for putting us on to a
good deal.

NEWS FLASH !!!
LONDON, ENGLAND

With the recent collapse of Robert Maxwell's publishing empire, and most if not all of its
operations scheduled for the auction block, there was real concern for the fate of "QL
World".

We are happy to report, that we have been informed, the employee's of MCPC Ltd. have
purchased the group publishing "QL World" along with other specialty magazines. As this
group was one of the few profitable arms of the Maxwell empire, we are optimistic that the
publication of "QL World" will continue.

HELPFUL HINT
TIVERTON, RHODE ISLAND, USA - DICK TAYLOR

Unbranded Sony 3.5" diskettes can be purchased in bulk at prices far below the retail price
of the disks with Sony's name imprinted on them. When purchasing these unbranded
diskettes, if you have any doubts that the disks being supplied are really Sonys, you can
verify this by separating the case of one of the diskettes and examining the contents. Under
the pad and attached to the inside of the case is a small (approximately 1/2" x 1/2") metal
tab that presses the pad against the storage media. All diskettes have this tab, but only Sony
uses metal. The rest of the diskette manufacturers use a plastic tab. If you have a bad
diskette available, you might want to open it up and verify this.

USING POINTERS AND STRUCTURES IN THE
C-PROGRAMMING LANGUAGE :

EAST PROVIDENCE, RHODE ISLAND, USA, - WILL HORTON
This article is intended to emphasize the importance of pointers and structures in order to

gain a better understanding of the C Programming Language. It is important to have a
through understanding of this topic since many of the operations in C use these facilities.

IQLR6-7

After these concepts have been thoroughly discussed examples will be provided as to their
relevance to the C68 compiler.

Part 1. Pointers

One of the most useful features of the C Programming language is the 'pointer'.The
flexibility and power derived from this feature of pointers, sets C apart from other
programming languages.

As an analogy of what a pointer is let us consider the task of ordering a box of printer paper
through our companies purchasing department. In order to do this we would first submit a
purchase order to the purchasing department, the purchasing department would in turn
place an order with the stationary store for the box of printer paper. This approach of
ordering a box of printer paper was an indirect one since we did not order it directly
through the stationary store but through our purchasing department. This same concept also
applies to pointers, where a pointer will indirectly access the value of a data item. This
concept of indirectly accessing data is called "indirection".

Now for an example of a pointer and a demonstration of indirection, take an integer
variable called "number", and define it as follows:

int number = 100;

Now define another variable called "num_pointer" that will allow us to indirectly access the
contents of variable "number".

int *num_pointer;

The asterisk defines the variable "num_pointer" to be of type pointer to integer. This will
allow "num_pointer" to indirectly access the value of an integer variable. Now if we want
to have "num_pointer" point to the variable "number", the following declaration is made:

num_pointer = &number;

The ampersand in front of "number" is known as the "address operator". This allows the
pointer "num_pointer" to point to the variable "number", it does not assign the value of
"number" to "num_pointer". We now have "num_pointer" pointing to the variable
"number", but how do we access the contents of "number" through our pointer? The
indirection operator is the answer. Suppose another variable of type int is defined:

int c;
c = *num_pointer;
The variable "c" now contains the value pointed to by "num_pointer", which is 100. The

indirection operator "*" is what allowed the number pointed to by pointer "num_pointer",
to be assigned to the variable "c".

The illustration below shows a conceptual view of what the relationship between the

pointer "num_pointer" and the variable "number" look like in memory. Notice that
"num_pointer" will be the pointer to "number" and "number" holds the constant 100.

IQLR6-8

number 100

num_pointer This will point to a number

The following listing will demonstrate the use of pointers.

main()

int number = 100, v;
int *num_pointer; /* pointer to integer */

num_pointer = &number; /* pointer points to the value 100 */
v=*num_pointer; /* assign the contents of pointer to v */

printf("number = %d, v = %d\n" ,number,v);
}
The output will be : number = 100, v = 100

Part 2. T

The C Programming language provides us with a tool to group elements of the same type
into a single logical entity. This tool is known as a structure. Let us be begin this
discussion by defining three integer variables.

int hour = 16, min = 32, sec = 12;

All three of these variables are logically related to each other and could be grouped together
in a structure. Perhaps a good name for this structure would be "time". Here is how this
data would look if it where incorporated into a structure:

struct time

int hour;
int min;
int sec;

};

The "time" structure defined contains three integer members called "hour", "min", "sec".
The definition of "time" appears to create a new data type. Just as a variable was defined to
be of type int, you can now define a variable to be of type "struct time". To show how the
structure is used here is an example:

IQLR6-9

struct time

{
int hour;
int min;
int sec;
;
main()
{

struct time clock;
clock.hour = 12;

clock.min = 37;
clock.sec = 19;

printf("The time is: %d:%d:Jod\n" ,clock.hour,clock.min,clock.sec);

The output will be : The time is: 12:37:19

Notice that we can assign values to each element of "clock" by simply taking clock and
putting the "." element name after clock. Once again keep in mind that clock has been
defined to be of type "struct time", and this type has three elements associated with it: hour,
min, and sec. This example by itself says little about structures, however it does show how
more than one variable can be related through a single type. In this case the type was "struct
time”, and the variable "clock" was defined to be of this type.

Part 3 Pointers and Structures.

Now that the concept of pointers and structures have been introduced, let us put the both of
them together to show you why they are useful to us.

The C programming language only allows its functions to return a single value, by
combining pointers with structures we will demonstrate how many values can be accessed
through a single function.
To begin, here is how a pointer to a structure is setup. Building from the previous example
we can set a pointer to "clock" called "time_ptr". Remember that "clock" was of type
"struct time", and this new pointer "time_ptr" must also be of "struct time" also.

struct time clock;

struct time *time_ptr;
Now we can set the pointer to point to "clock" as follows:

time_ptr = &clock;

IQLR6-10

Once this assignment has been made we can indirectly access any of the three data items
within the "time" structure, i.e. hour, min, sec. Notice once again the address operator
"&" that allows us to point to the address of "clock", not its contents.

(*time_ptr).hour = 15;

The above assignment would change the hour element within the structure "time" from 12
to 15. In order to fully understand the syntax let us dissect the above statement. The
parentheses are required since the structure member operator "." has higher precedence than
the indirection operator "*". So if the parentheses are removed we have, *time_ptr.hour,
which is a pointer to the element of hour within the structure "time". Remember that the
indirection operator forces the pointer to take on the value it is pointing to, and in this case
it would be "time.hour".

To put these concepts to work for us here is a routine from the C68 Standard C Library that
uses pointers to structures to return its values. This routine is called localtime() which
computes the date and time into integer values. It is defined in the file time.h. To use this
routine proceed as follows:

main()

struct tm *localtime();
struct tm *date;

int month, day, year;
int hour , min, sec;
int day_of_week;
int Julian_date;
int daylight_svgs;

` int seconds;

/* Retrieve the accumulated time in seconds */
seconds = time();

/* Compute the time breakdown */
date = localtime(&seconds);

month = (*date).tm_mon;
day = (*date).tm_mday;
year = (*date).tm_year;

hour = (*date).tm_hour;
min = (*date).tm_min;
sec = (*date).tm_sec;

day_of_week = (*date).tm_wday;

Julian_date = (*date).tm_yday;
daylight_svgs = (*date).tm_isdst;

IQLR6-11

The first thing that is declared is that the routine "localtime()" is defined to be of structure
type "tm". The library that holds this routine has within it a structure of type "tm", so this
structure is already setup for us. Next a pointer to structure is defined called "*date". This
will point to the elements of the structure "tm". Once the routine "localtime()" is called the
structure contains updated items which can be accessed as shown above. For an example
notice how month is read, the pointer to the structure element "tm_mon" is setup as,
(*date).tm_tmon. Once again "*date" is a pointer to the structure, and when it is setup with
the correct "." name it can access any of the elements within the structure.

These examples are only a sample of what pointers and structures can do. Other advanced
topics would lead to linked lists, binary trees, sorting functions, and a host of other topics.
There seems no getting away from pointers especially if you want to use the library
functions within a particular C compiler.
